Cloud Engineering, DevOps, SRE, Full-Stack — focused on infrastructure automation, reliability, CI/CD, and building systems that move code from development to production.
- Supported AWS staging infrastructure across ECS, RDS, ALB, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, Redis, Secrets Manager, and Cognito while troubleshooting deployment and application integration issues.
- Diagnosed authentication and integration failures across Cognito, JWT, and OAuth 2.0 workflows for Shopify, QuickBooks, Xero, and Zoho.
- Supported staging deployments and release validation through ECS task definition updates, environment configuration, application health checks, and container/runtime troubleshooting.
- Automated disaster recovery and infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, Ansible, and Bash, reducing environment recovery from hours to minutes.
- Built and supported a high-availability web architecture using DigitalOcean load balancing, multiple Ubuntu web nodes, and a managed MySQL database cluster.
- Improved production reliability and security through automated SSL certificate management, health checks, firewall rules, Fail2ban, ModSecurity, and infrastructure monitoring.
🐳 DevOps Bootcamp Projects — Containers, Cloud & Deployment
Hands-on DevOps projects focused on containerization, cloud infrastructure, artifact management, and deployment automation.
- Containers: Containerized Java/Spring Boot and Node.js applications using Docker and Docker Compose with environment variables, networking, persistent volumes, and health checks.
- Cloud Deployment: Deployed applications to DigitalOcean Linux servers, configuring runtime dependencies, network access, and remote deployments via SSH.
- Artifact Management: Published and retrieved application artifacts through Nexus repositories and automated deployment of the latest application version using Bash.

📊 Observability Mini-Lab — Infrastructure, CI/CD & Monitoring
Built a small end-to-end DevOps environment to practice infrastructure provisioning, automated deployment, and application monitoring.
- Infrastructure: Provisioned AWS EC2 infrastructure and security groups using Terraform and automated server configuration with Ansible.
- CI/CD: Built GitHub Actions workflows to build and publish Docker images and deploy application updates.
- Monitoring: Configured Prometheus and Node Exporter to collect infrastructure metrics from the deployed environment.
